Though I don’t live on the East Coast, or consider my style very preppy, or happen to be wearing this as I tramp down an autumn leaf strewn country lane, this look really hits all those notes.

I decided to bust out this blazer one last time before I packed it away for the summer. Unlike the flat drawing, it is a purpley burgundy (like the photo) corduroy. This fabric is interesting because it almost seems to shimmer as you move because the under color is lighter orangey burgundy (like the drawing). And it has elbow patches! Elbow patches! How very professorish of me!

I wore it with the teal sweater and not finding any necklace that really worked I decided on this scarf, which happened to have almost the same color teal in it. I am secretly happy when something matches so well.

This outfit is a completely new combination of pieces and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. Isn’t it funny how you can have pieces in your closet for year and never think about wearing them together?
